Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at the possibility of a Rockstar sequel.
During his recent appearance on Komal Nahta’s podcast Game Changers, the acclaimed director shared that he is open to the idea of continuing the story if the right concept comes along.
“Never say never. Ho sakta hai ki koi idea aa jaaye aur mujhe lage ki ye kahani, as a Rockstar Part 2 ya Rockstar thought, it might be nice,” he said, suggesting that a fresh perspective on the film could pave the way for a sequel.
Released in 2011, Rockstar starred Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri in lead roles, with supporting performances by Aditi Rao Hydari, Piyush Mishra, Shernaz Patel, Kumud Mishra, Sanjana Sanghi, and Shammi Kapoor in his final on-screen appearance. The film quickly became one of the highest-grossing movies of the year and gained a cult following over time. Its music, composed by A.R. Rahman, is still regarded as one of Bollywood’s most iconic soundtracks.
Due to its enduring popularity, Rockstar was re-released in select theatres across India in May 2024, drawing large audiences and becoming one of the highest-grossing re-releases of the year.
The film follows the journey of a young musician who transforms into the rebellious and passionate artist ‘Jordan’ after experiencing love and heartbreak. With its raw storytelling, unforgettable music, and intense performances, Rockstar remains a cinematic favourite even after more than a decade.
Imtiaz Ali’s latest statement has reignited hopes for Rockstar 2, and while nothing is confirmed yet, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Ranbir Kapoor will return to the big screen as Jordan once again.
